FAQs

Common questions.

What the engagement involved, how the numbers were arrived at, and whether the method transfers.

A two-year engagement covering global ecommerce performance across more than fifty markets. The work included migrating from Google Analytics Universal to GA4, building a standardised KPI framework that every market reported against, and creating automated dashboards for both regional and central teams.

By making performance genuinely comparable across markets for the first time. Once every market measured conversion the same way, the underperformers became obvious and the fixes became specific: checkout friction in some markets, traffic quality in others. The uplift came from acting on that clarity.

Standardised tracking exposed spend going to channels and markets that produced traffic but almost no conversions. Without a common measurement framework that waste was invisible, because each market reported success differently. The figure represents annualised media that could be reallocated to what was working.

The scale is not, but the method is. The same discipline — agree what you measure, measure it consistently, then act on what it shows — works identically for one website. Most small businesses have exactly the problem PMI had, just at a smaller size.

It ran across the two-year engagement rather than as a single cutover, because fifty-plus markets could not move at once. Sequencing market by market, with parallel tracking during each changeover, is what kept historical reporting usable and stakeholders confident throughout.
